Rep Your Region BIF - Hints and Hauls

No last haul yet. No worries though, pictures will herald its arrival.

 

The final box arrived. Unpacked it as soon as I got home from work and it certainly was a task. This might be the most thoroughly wrapped and packed box I've ever encountered. The goods:

The whole show w/Brewmaster's t-shirt and coozy:


Needless to say, a killer box with over 300oz of West coast goodness. I know a few buddies who will help knock some of these down in short order. Huge thanks to gkunkle for wrapping this thing up and continuing to kill it like everyone did for the entire BIF.

 

I don't know if my brain would have been able to handle Fantasia, but the idea that you would have thrown one in is enough to blow my mind. As for the packaging, it wasn't too time consuming. I didn't take a knife to it or anything. Given the weight, the packing was top notch.

With that said, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who participated in this lovely thing. Thanks for making my first BIF a success. I'll definitely be running another round in the near future (with a few tweaks). Throw any feedback at me (good, bad, ugly, whatever) either on here or through a BM/Conversation (whatever term you want to use).

Killer stuff all around and a good example of how many buried gems there are out there.
